Flappy Bird lands on arcade machine

Think that Flappy Bird is already supremely aggravating to play? Try flying between those pipes when there's money on the line. Arcade company Bay Tek Games have come up with an arcade machine that houses Flappy Bird and, as you might expect, works off coins so that you can now go bankrupt too.

The monitor on the arcade version measures 42 inches and is surrounded by calming blue light on all four sides. Let's hope these machines actually last a few days until someone hits the same pipe one time too many. Well, at least it's listed as a "Video Redemption" game, meaning players earn arcade tickets for each successfuly avoided pipe.

The game is also officially licensed by Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen, who gave the ok for them to use the same tough-to-control title you've come to love or hate, so in other words, you'll likely spend more time feeding the thing all your coins than you will mashing its one and only game button.
